Anyone experienced extreme fatigue during pregnancy? Im exhausted no matter how much i sleep, im falling asleep sitting up, i have no energy to do anything at all, i cant sit for more than a few minutes without nodding off and having to get up. I dont want to increase my cups of coffee, im still on my prenatal and iron supplements, ive tried earing foods with more protein and good carbs for energy but no improvement over the past week. Yesterday i nearly passed out at work, i was standing waiting for a pitcher to fill up to add water to something and i got extremely tired, dizzy, and lightheaded, my eyes closed and i started to wobble but my boss luckily came and grabbed my arm and had me sit on the floor. Luckily it was the very end of my shift so i just clocked out and had some water until i felt okay to drive home. I have a drs appointment tomorrow and will be bringing this up, but im seeing a different doctor than my regular OB so im a little worried he wont take things seriously.
Side note, ive been drinking plenty of water(especially at work i drink only water and large cups). Im making sure to eat regularly and have high protein healthy snacks between meals, and i drink a healthy protein shake with breakfast to up my calories. Ive only gained two pounds, so im still borderline underweight, i dont know if that has anything to do with it, but im doing all i can to put weight on, im 18 weeks so i know i should be gaining more weight but im really struggling even with making sure im getting plenty of calories and carbs.
